WASHINGTON: A 22-year-old student from Hyderabad was killed in a freak car accident in the US.
Naresh Dacha, first year MS (EE) student at Wright State University, was driving from his home to the university Monday morning along with his friend Varun when his car hit a tree on Route 22 in Dayton, Ohio.
The incident happened around 5.30 am when Naresh hit the tree in an effort to save a cat.
Varun, who was in the front passenger's seat, is safe with minor injuries, said Prasad Thotakura, president-elect of Telugu Association of North America (TANA).
"We have informed the parents of Naresh. We are making all the necessary arrangements to send the body of Naresh to Hyderabad as soon as possible," Thotakura said.
Naresh completed his BTech from Arora Engineering College, Bhuvangiri, Nalgonda district in 2008 and joined Wright State University in January 2009. He is survived by his parents and brother who live in Hyderabad.
"It is very sad to see a young bright student losing his life in a freak, horrific accident. Bhaskar Dacha, father of Naresh, was in a great shock seeking TANA help to send Naresh's body to Hyderabad to pay last respects to his beloved son," said Jayaram Komati, president, TANA.
